What a time to be a black girl in the universe!

For the first time, top beauty pageants -- Miss USA, Miss Teen USA, Miss America, Miss Universe and now, Miss World -- have crowned black women as their winners at the same time.

Only in the last 50 years have black women become more prevalent in these competitions. Janelle Commissiong was the first black Miss Universe in 1977, Vanessa Williams was the first black Miss America in 1983, and Carole Anne-Marie Gist, the first black Miss USA contestant, was crowned in 1990. The following year Janel Bishop became the first black Miss Teen USA.

When Toni-Ann Singh of Jamaica was crowned as Miss World on Saturday, she joined a historic group of black women, along with 2019 Miss USA Cheslie Kryst, 2019 Miss Teen USA Kaliegh Garris, 2019 Miss America Nia Franklin and 2019 Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi.

Miss World plans to be a doctor

Miss USA works on behalf of prisoners

Miss Universe fights gender-based violence

Miss America is an advocate for the arts

Miss Teen USA launched a non-profit to help people with disabilities

This is what black girl magic looks like! This is what representation means! This is the definition of dopeness! This is US, Queens 👸🏾👸🏽👸🏿👸🏾👸🏽

I DON’T NEED A CROWN TO KNOW I’M A QUEEN 👑
